The community COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Collingwood has relocated to the Legion (490 Ontario St). as of today.
Walk-ins will be welcome at the clinic from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Feb. 7 while the clinic capacity allows.
The clinic will be accommodating walk-ins for anyone aged five years or older getting a first or second dose, and anyone currently eligible for a booster. Doses will be available only while supplies last.
Appointments for the local clinic can be made on the province's booking system online or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900.
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit recommends still getting a vaccine even if you've had COVID, because you can be reinfected. Those who are sick with COVID should wait until symptoms subside before getting any dose of the COVID vaccine.
You can visit the health unit website for up-to-date clinic information and details on COVID vaccines and dose schedules here.
For people who have booked an appointment but would like to talk to a health professional more about the vaccine before getting it, the health unit offers pre-vaccination support.
For anyone coming to a community clinic that would benefit from accommodations or additional supports to ensure their clinic experience is a positive one, call Health Connection 705-721-7520 (1-877-721-7520) ext. 5997 to speak to one of our staff; submit a request online (at least 48 hours before your appointment or by 2 p.m. Friday for weekend appointments) or arrive 15 minutes before the appointment and see the on-site clinic coordinator for assistance.
The health unit is offering mobile support to people who are unable to leave their home.
"We would encourage you to check with any other health care provider that provides care to you in your home to see if they are able to provide your booster dose," states the health unit website. "If you don’t have any in-home care providers or they are unable to provide vaccination, we are taking requests for homebound vaccination by calling Health Connection 705-721-7520 (1-877-721-7520) ext. 5997 to speak to one of our staff or by submitting a request online."
